BA (HONS), PGCE Principal of Worsley College ALL OF OUR STUDENTS PROGRESS ONTO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING AFTER COLLEGE: 3 WORSLEYCOLLEGE HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE CELEBRATING OVER 100 YEARS In 1919, Worsley Technical School opened its doors to the local community. It was the first college in the country to offer professional development and training opportunities for apprentices who were learning their trade across the city. A department for secondary education was introduced in 1929 and the addition of Worsley Junior Technical School ensured that local people were supported to develop their skills at all ages. In 1954, in response to national educational reforms, the college was renamed Worsley Technical College. The Junior and Secondary School was separated and the college began its journey as the provider of further education courses in the area. In 1963, Worsley Technical College was renamed Worsley College of Further Education and went through a period of significant renovation and extension. In 1965, specialist rooms were added to support students to develop skills and gain qualifications in dressmaking and hairdressing and the college building was completely modernised. In 1990, Salford College was formed and Worsley Campus (formerly Worsley Technical College) was born. In 2009, five colleges in Salford merged to become Salford City College and Worsley Campus became known as Walkden Sixth Form Centre. On 21st April 2018, the Young Mayor of Salford and a student at the college, Kayleigh Peacock, and the former Ceremonial Mayor of Salford, Peter Connor, (pictured right) declared that henceforth Walkden Sixth Form Centre would become known as Worsley College. This was a wonderful occasion supported by current students, staff, and members of the local community. Unfortunately, since then, Peter has sadly passed away. However, his legacy still lives on within the heart of Worsley College. The words etched in the stone of our oldest building at Worsley College ‘Non Nobis Solum’ or ‘Not for ourselves alone’, epitomise and celebrate the success of every single student who has studied at the college over one hundred years of its delivery of educational opportunities. 1911 1927 1963 - 1965 2009 BUILDING ERECTED JUNIOR TECHNICAL SCHOOL OPENED RE-NAMED WORSLEY COLLEGE OF FURTHER EDUCATION COLLEGES IN SALFORD MERGE INTO SALFORD CITY COLLEGE 1919 1954 1990 2018 WORSLEY TECHNICAL SCHOOL OPENED WORSLEY TECHNICAL COLLEGE ESTABLISHED BECOMES WORSLEY CAMPUS, SALFORD COLLEGE RE-NAMED AS WORSLEY COLLEGE 4 WORSLEYCOLLEGE HISTORY WORSLEYCOLLEGE OF THE COLLEGE THE W ORSLEY WAY E PUT OUR STUDENTS A T THE HEART OF WEVERY THING W E DO UTSTANDING TEA CHING AND LEARN ING O OPPORTUNITIES ARE PRO VIDED FOR ALL ESPECT FOR C ORE V ALUES AND THE REMO VAL OF R BARRIERS ENABLE RICH , SUC CESSFUL OUT COMES TUDENTS AND STAFF FEEL SAFE AND SUPPORTED S TO BE THE BEST THEY CAN BE EARNING EXPERIENCES ARE INSPIRATIONAL L AND ENGA GING XPECTATIONS ARE BUIL T ON H IGH LEVE LS OF E PROFESSIONAL ST ANDARDS OUR INDIVIDU AL C OMMITMENT W ILL ENABLE WORSLEY C OLLEGE T O BE A BEA CON OF EDUCATIONAL EX CELLENCE AND A COLLEGE THE COMMUNIT Y IS PROUD OF Y 5 WORSLEYCOLLEGE WHAT OFSTED SAY STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES “The high grades students achieve enable them to gain places at the most prestigious universities” “The college has established a culture of high aspirations for student achievement” “Students enjoy their time at the college as a result of the good teaching and learning and the excellent range of enrichment activities they participate in” “Good support for students is provided and teachers who always make the time to help them with their work and any personal problems” “Progression to further study and higher education is high” “The sessions are dynamic, with all students fully engaged, focused, and demonstrating high levels of attainment” “The college environment is just like a family that they feel part of” “Teachers are highly enthusiastic, professional, and have exceptional experience in their subjects” 6 WORSLEYCOLLEGE STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES 7 WORSLEYCOLLEGE TEACHERS STUDENTS WHO LOVE TO TEACH WHO LOVE TO LEARN At Worsley College, we only recruit the best.

JOHN BARRY-INGLIS TEACHER OF HOSPITALITY & CATERING “I have more than 30 years’ experience working as a professional in hotels, restaurants, inflight catering as well as running my own catering business. I have been working in Hospitality & Culinary Arts education since 2007. During this time, I have countless memories of students developing their skills and knowledge with us before blossoming into professional chefs and restauranteurs. The best part of my job is having the opportunity to share my expertise with our students, striving to offer them the best start in their career.” MICHELLE JONES TEACHER OF HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE “I started my career teaching undergraduate nursing students at University. I then moved to Worsley College where I have taught health and social care across many different levels. The best part of my job is watching the students grow in confidence whilst learning and developing new skills. I enjoy sharing my own experiences from my nursing career with the students, and listening to the experiences they have whilst on placement. It is lovely to watch the students progress on their academic journey and achieve their goals, no matter how long it takes.” LAURA MACK TEACHER OF CHILDCARE “I teach on a variety of programmes here at Worsley College. Worsley College is a unique setting, where all the teachers and members of staff are dedicated to ensuring each of our students achieve the best possible results and tailor support around your individual needs. The environment is nurturing and supportive and this enables a teacher to bring the best out of all our students.
